why

Wed, 15 May 2013 08:46:00 -0400

why would a renderer split up a natural process (the bouncing of photons) into multiple components, when in life it’s just one thing happening. we need to move towards single pass, full IBL with proper BRDFs!

hip-po get it?! hehehehehe

Branch high poly, gonna be textured and baked down to planes to throw onto tree models I’m doing. Most of this will be driven a lot by procedural stuff in the end.

Only thing I can see is the right leaf’s stem lighting looks inverted. The light should be on the top side if it’s bulging out, should it not? Could be like a U shaped “bulging inwards” stem though. Overall it looks fine, however!

Hm.. I think what you’re seeing is because some lighting got weirdly baked into the texture. I’ll have to remove it and see if that helps. Thanks! :D

Would probably also help to actually bake a decent normal map instead of a 2 second one!

Do I suck or no? I think I’ve looked at this for too long and can’t see my mistakes.

Here’s the near final roof tiles in UDK. Ignore the weird shading, it’s because of the baked lighting not playing well.

First tests for a group environment. Everything here is placeholder and it’s literally a 2 minute terrain test thrown over the default unreal level with my own shader on it all.
